Wed Testimony Against RKLD

From Tuesday

What strikes me about the few who testified against the RKLD on both Tuesday and Wednesday is the fact that none of the DNR/Wetlands witnesses are lake users.

Indeed, Erin O'Brien from the WI Wetlands Association, who drove down from Madison to read a lengthy statement in support of the DNR's Environmental Assessment, admitted on cross-examination that she has never been on Lake Koshkonong.

Also, while she read DNR documents, she did not bother to read the RKLD's documentation in the Environmental Impact Report.

Then on Wednesday, someone from the Madison Parks Department is recruited to testify against RKLD.

Keep in mind, neither of the Madison participants will testify next week as "experts."
